Pros and Cons

Apple iPhone 16 Pro

Strengths

The iPhone 16 Pro boasts a larger screen, measuring 6.3 inches with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for multimedia consumption.
The device features a more powerful A18 Pro chipset, delivering a 15% CPU performance boost and 15-20% graphics improvement over the previous model.
The camera setup has been upgraded to match that of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with a 48MP main camera, 12MP telephoto zoom lens, and a new ultra-wide cam with a 48MP sensor.
The device offers excellent video recording capabilities, including 4K resolution and slow-motion clips at 120 FPS.

Weaknesses

The color saturation of the main camera can be relatively low-key, resulting in a more natural look rather than an eye-catching one.
The telephoto camera's digital zoom can produce slightly lower detail clarity compared to some competitors at higher zoom levels.
Internal reflections from light sources can be noticeable in low-light conditions when recording video with the main camera.

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+

Strengths

The phone has gotten bigger and thicker, but feels worse in the hand due to its rounded frames, which some people may like.
The camera performance is significantly upgraded with an ultra-wide camera, a T-camera with a larger aperture, and an ultra-chroma camera for more accurate white balance.
The battery capacity has grown to 5,500mAh, and power of wire and wireless charging has been upgraded.
The phone's design, particularly the exterior, is top-notch in my mind, even if it may not be harmonious with others.

Weaknesses

The phone feels worse in the hand due to its bigger size and thickness.
The battery capacity upgrade is not necessarily a significant advantage, as it's still one of the few phones with this feature.
The fingerprint unlock has been moved from under the display to the power button, which may be considered a downgrade (although it's not a big deal for most users).
The processor upgrade is small considering the semiconductor situation in China right now.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro is the compact flagship model that shares many similarities with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but in a smaller package. One of the major upgrades over last year's models is the telephoto camera, which has been upgraded to match the Pro Max's capabilities. The camera setup on the iPhone 16 Pro now features a 48MP main camera, a 12MP 5x telephoto zoom lens, and a new Ultra-wide camera with a 48MP sensor. The iPhone 16 Pro boasts a larger 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, protected by third-generation ceramic shield glass. The screen's brightness is impressive, with a maximum output of around 900 nits, and it supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision video. The phone also features a new Dynamic Island functionality that turns the area around the screen cutout into a place for relevant info. The iPhone 16 Pro has a more powerful chipset than its predecessor, which results in better performance and battery life. The camera shutter key is another notable feature, allowing users to control the camera with ease. In terms of camera quality, the main cam produces excellent photos during the day, with plenty of detail and natural color saturation. Low-light shots are also impressive, with well-balanced exposures and good detail rendition. The telephoto camera performs well in daylight conditions, capturing excellent 5x zoom shots with great detail. However, at 10x zoom, the clarity is not as much as some competitors. Nighttime photos from the telephoto cam are very good, but with a fair bit of noise. Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro offers a compact package with all the features and capabilities of its larger counterpart, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a smaller iPhone with high-end specs.

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+

The highly anticipated Huawei Mate 70 series has finally arrived, marking the 15th month since the release of its predecessor, the Mate 60 series. This latest iteration promises to be a game-changer with significant upgrades, particularly in camera performance and system capabilities. The Mate 70 Pro boasts an impressive array of features, including IP69 certification for high-temperature and pressure waterproofing, a larger battery capacity, and improved wireless charging capabilities. With its sleek design and robust specifications, this phone is poised to become Huawei's best yet.
